Then she got out

I enjoy a sprite and Margo enjoys an orange juice

I decided to join you

Then she kissed my dad

Ew Margo said

I covered my eyes

I started to gag

I'm sorry, I, uh

Oh, sorry

No, no, don't, that's gr great

It's just, like, the tequila

No, there's just something I've got to tell you, I

What? Oh, my god, you're in a relationship

I'm so sorry

Oh, no, no, no, uh, no, that's, that's not it

I thought you were married June said

Oh she passed away dad said

Oh I'm sorry June said

Okay, I'm all ears, what is it?

Are we landing?

No, not yet

Uh

Listen, there's, there's no need to panic

I have

Contained the situation

Situation?

Uh, yeah, we've, uh

Lost the pilots

Where did they go?

I mean, they're dead

The pilots are dead

Shot, it's

Shot

By who?

Uh, well, uh, me

Actually, I shot the first pilot

He shot the second pilot accidentally

It was just

One of those things

Oh my god I said

Then they started to laugh

Then I got back to my book

Seriously, this is great

Really, I'm relieved you are taking this so well

Then they continue to laugh

Where are you going?

I-I'm just gonna go check on things and think about landing

Would you mind putting your seat belt on for me and you girls as well?

That'd be great

Then we put on our seatbelts

Then I got our things together

I held Margo's hand

Then June started to scream and took mine and Margo's hand

Oh, come on in, sit down

I sat in the back behind dad

He was saying mayday

Then I started to panic

Shit, where's her medicine dad said and gave me my medicine

Are they even yours? she said

Yeah, there mine he said

I was sitting and taking breaths

Then we saw a truck

Then we landed in a field

Are you girls okay? Dad asked

I nodded

Then dad picked up Margo and she fell asleep

This is good?

What's good?

Take a sip of that, take the edge off

Then dad took off his shirt and put Margo down

Are you shot?

Yeah, how about that?

It's just a scrape

That's good news

June, we have to, discuss what's going to happen next

You need to go to the hospital

Prison, maybe?

No I said

Some people are going to come looking for you now, bad people

You know, I feel a little weird

Oh, yeah, that'll pass once you fall asleep, which should be in a couple of minutes

What?

I need you to listen, June

Did you drug me?

Yes

You drugged me

Yeah, it's for your own good

Now, look, these bad people who are going to come and see you, they're going to ask you about me

Okay? And you need to tell them you don't know me

June, June?

Huh? Okay

You need to tell them you don't remember anything and you need to avoid getting in any vehicle with them at all costs

Wait, who are them?

Well, they're serious people, June

They'll probably identify themselves as federal agents, and they'll D. I. P. you

Dip me?

In what?

Then I started to fall asleep
